Why choose Gentle Hearts Childbirth Preparation?

A truly comprehensive childbirth preparation

Running is natural, yet athletes prepare and train.  Childbirth is natural too, but to increase the likelihood of reaching our goals, we should also prepare and train.


To help you achieve a positive birth experience, these classes focus on comprehensive childbirth education: physical, mental & emotional preparation

My goal is to support you during this exciting time in preparation for your positive birth

Here at Gentle Hearts Birth Services, I have a ‘best case scenario’ attitude for birth and the focus will be uplifting and empowering in tone and topic. 


Birth in ANY form can be a positive experience, despite what mainstream media or your nosy neighbor will have you believe. 


While I do acknowledge there are times when complications can occur, most women give birth without complication when they are healthy, well supported and feel prepared.

 What goes into it?


• Understanding pain perception 

• The effect of fear and tension

• Mindsets and their influence

• Visualization 

• CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 

• Mindfulness 

• Hypnobirthing

What will we learn about?


• Birth hormones 

• Building a toolkit of coping mechanisms for labor

• Breathing techniques 

• Nutrition in pregnancy

• Advanced comfort measures 

• Active labor movement 

• Signs of labor

• Acupressure 

• Navigating different birth options 

• Routine care vs. Best Practices 

• Evidence-based care 

• Birth preferences

• Breastfeeding Basics

• Postpartum Nutrition & Recovery Tips

How do we internalize what we've learned?


Daily practice and continued review of what you have been studying is key to be able to recall knowledge during intense moments of labor and birth. 


Having the daily practice also establishes good habits of mindfulness that will continue to help you long into your parenthood journey.

Fee covers registration for two, usually Mom & Dad (or chosen support person) and is due 2 weeks prior to the workshop.  You will also receive a Student Resource Manual to use throughout the class and beyond

Please note: Childbirth Educators are not medical providers

The Gentle Hearts philosophy does not advocate refusing medical assistance when required. I encourage all families to discuss their birth options with their care provider during the prenatal period and if necessary during the birth process.


Aligned with the midwifery model of care, spontaneous, physiological birth with evidence based care is considered the healthiest birth for both mothers and babies (unless there is a medical reason to deviate from the physiological birth process or by mom’s request).


I look forward to supporting you as you prepare for your positive birth.
